I don't think I would be screaming if she had given Bush's protests enough time to happen, especially if she did so in the context of encouraging ALL the canvassing boards to count as accurately as they could. The right to protest is on the books; it ought to be allowed to happen, whoever is the loser. As for "accepted counts that favored him even though they were submitted after a court-ordered deadline", the court gave her discretion in setting the deadline (by keeping her office open or not), so she could have. But I still think that Harris should have recused herself in the first place; the elections supervisor in a tied election should not be working for either of the candidates, especially as campaign co-chair. She can do a lot to influence the result and her conflict of interest is obvious.
